I went to the snow today.

I thought that might be a good therapy for car bomb threats. I have not gotten to the point where I will avoid traffic jams and roads with cars parked on the sides, as it would mean I would have to stay home all day, but the number of friends and/or acquaintances who experienced near-misses is adding up.
We will ignore that quite conveniently though.

I thought the rest of the Lebanese population might go for the same therapy, but I was wrong; the slopes were absolutely empty! It was as if they were operating the lifts for my sake only.

But I knew I was on the right track when I spotted this car in front of me while driving up; an Iraqi from Baghdad. You rarely see Iraqi license plates in this town. Now if anyone knows what to do in case of a system overload due to car bombs, he does. After all, they have 'em all the time. So what are we complaining about?
We rent our small ground floor apartment to an Iraqi "refugee" family. They went to Baghdad for the week. I'm glad they missed the trouble here; they have enough where they are.
